Tidbits from Christmas


We started the Christmas season with Mallory's program at her school. 
She sang 3 songs with her class: 
Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer
Frosty the Snowman 
Sleigh Ride
She had a lot of fun and did a great job singing and doing the hand motions, even if she was the only one in her group of 10 kids that didn't want to wear the Rudolph nose. :)
 
First we had a little fun with Grandpa & Grandma Lynn.
Waiting patiently for her turn to open...

Princesses for Mallie
Tools for Daddy
A kitty keyboard for Abby
Sewing supplies for Mommy (not pictured!)

And who wouldn't enjoy a little Tequila for the holidays?

Then we traveled four hours south for some more cousins and Christmas fun. 

Christmas Eve Mass
I love this picture of Abby taken after Mass
and it totally reminded me of THIS picture of Mallory taken after Mass in 2009.

Saying goodnight to Ryann on Christmas Eve
(matching jammies, tee hee)
Cookies & milk for Santa, 
carrots for the reindeer
Christmas morning.............
A jammies picture, but not without tears...

We had a fun-filled Christmas day! A whirlwind of gifts, food and family (too much of a whirlwind to take many pictures appparently...)

After a wonderful weekend, we headed back to WI to wrap a few more presents and celebrate one more time with Grandma and Papa Butschli. 

Everyone can use a few Cooties in their life, right?
And one can never have too many princesses...
...or kisses from Grandma
...or hugs from their sister
...or smiles from a cousin



It was definitely a very merry Christmas around here!
(and January has been pretty merry too!)
